I know what you all must be thinking "maybe when a firmware image is released... MAYBE" I know and I agree with you, we can't be thinking about mods or programs untill then... however I believe we might have another option:
Making a PDF (or epub) with words linking to pages instead of typing them, I don't know... what do you guys think? Could it be done? |
I was wondering . . . and thinking about it for the last few days.
I then search mobileread to find out other are thinking on the same subject for more than a years. :-)
It seem that one of the reason for Infocom to fail (at the end) was the engineer culture to resist graphics, so they lost to Nitendo and the like.

I could play some game on my Ebookman. The PRS-505 is not the same technology.
Is it possible to make a game with links and the like ?
HMMmm!! That would be more fun to try to do it, than to play.
If someone does it, i will play a few time.
Like my Ebookman, I use it to read more than 99 % of the time.
So I do not see a future for it. Unless we find a new way to play with text and idea using links.
My 2cents worth.
